Tottenham Vs Chelsea: Match Thread

"Or did you mean that Soldado means soldier in Spanish"?


Yes Sir.

Perhaps in future i should refer to Defoe as Mr Defoe so not to irritate the more sensitive fan among us.......

Or you could call him The Enemy.

"Or you could call him The Enemy"

Mr Offside sounds apt.

Yesterday we needed the beast to come boss those little Chelsea midfielders about, Sacrificed Errikson. We just couldn't keep the ball. Also i think some good olde Spurs bottling crept in as well + Fatigue. Chelsea did play well in the second half and probably deserved the equaliser, but anyone but that twat!! AVB was a little slow in making the changes that needed to be made.

He wanted to widen us, as Townsend was moving too central. It didn't work out though.

Why not tell Townsend to stay wide?

No, I'm talking about a low cross in the second half.

All the way across goal. Hugo couldn't get to it and, thankfully, the Chelsea player sliding in at the far post (Oscar?) couldn't get enough on it to turn it into the empty goal.

And there was definitely a moment when Hugo had to come off his line to save. Wasn't offside because play carried on.

I'm glad that you felt comfortable, though. I didn't. Not because we were conceding a huge number of chances but rather because the pressure was building. We couldn't keep the ball and were conceding too much space in midfield. If that had carried on for the entire 90 +, I'm not sure that Chelsea wouldn't have created two or three more good chances. And maybe that would have been the difference? Thankfully Torres made things more comfortable for those of us who weren't as fortunate as you!

sorry you are right just saw motd there were chances as you said, I still genuinely was stressed all game.

A couple of things from yesterday, it's sad how many people have such fucking tunnel vision when Dawson is involved in a goal we concede. Every man and his dog is stuck up dembele's arse YET he is the one NOT holding the line playing at least 2 or 3 Chelsea players onside as that ball is delivered and lets not forget Verts, whose reckless tackle lead to the free kick.

And as for Torres even before his aerial challenge with Verts, just before that he goes for a challenge in the air with Dembele(i think) and appears to lead with and elbow then and although he didn't catch Verts with an elbow, he does lead with his arm. imo the second yellow was for a foul, which it clearly was, he just jumps at verts and flattens him. Had it been for an elbow then surely it would have been a straight red anyway??

Loved the stick Terry was getting yesterday, you could see it was getting under his skin.

Surely we cant be the only club that has these chants for him?

That's what hurt the most. I hate that fool! And he epitomises what Chelsea are. Him, Torres and Mikel. To a lesser extent Cole. They are a dirty club, run by a dirty owner and managed by a coach who teaches dirty tactics. And they couldn't beat us.
I reckon it's time for Defoe to start in the league. Give Soldado the Europa League so he can score a goal or two and JD to harass the Prem defenses for a while. I reckon had JD been on from the get go (I was surprised he wasn't) we would have won the game in the first half. So far Soldado has offered little indeed. I'm confident he will get it right once he learns that the Prem is a different ball game to La Liga.

Defoe - one who came from the valleys.

@WindyCOYS @Spooky23 @Blind_Dogs AVB was talking to Sandro jst before Chelsea scored their goal.Looked like he was def going to bring him on

 

[voxy28]

AVB made a mistake by putting Chadli as RW.... he should had put him LW and take Siggy out. We should had stretch the LW bec Ivanovic was roaming forward.

got to him then

 

[JamieDaCosta]

Agreed on the Soldado touch. Beautiful. Not sure that we would have got that from JD!

Can't agree with the rest of your analysis, though. Chelsea were clearly the better team in the second half.

What about his superb pass through to Chadli against Villa the other night.....

 

[JamieDaCosta]

Or you could call him The Enemy.

He's got a weird inverted fetish about Defoe and a fetish for Soldado, every person I know who was at the game concurs that Soldado was shocking and so far has not looked anywhere NEAR a £26m pound player. True story.

 

[jambreck]

Don't get me wrong. I'm not one of those who insists that JD offers nothing other than goals.

But nine years of watching him play for Spurs has taught me that, in the position that Soldado was in yesterday, there is an overwhelming likelihood that JD would have taken a shot at goal - either first time or after a touch or two.

With the rest of the results going our way, this could indeed be a very good day for us.

The more I think about it, the better the result was getting a draw against a Chelsea with the chosen one back.

Good draw indeed.

Last season in the same fixture a draw would have been good as we gave 100% effort and tactical application with the playing personnel at our disposal then. Yesterday the players may have given 100% but the not the same percentage from the management of the players, that is why I cannot agree that it was a good draw. A good draw would have been 100% from both players and management.

I was at the game too. And I don't concur.

Soldado didn't do much, granted. But he did set up the goal. After that, he was given very little service.

As to not looking anything like a £26 million player, I'm sure that I don't need to point out that he has only played in six Premier League games and that players coming to a new country to play in a new league and a new team as often as not need the best part of half a season before they fully hit their stride.

For example, Dennis Bergkamp and Carlos Tevez.

They turned out okay.

 

[Bulletspur]

I really honestly stopped reading at, "I honestly stopped reading at "the soldier". If your giving him a nickname then you will always big him up and slate defoe".



I think you're being a tad unfair, though. Liking Bobby doesn't mean disliking JD.

And even though you claim not to have read it, I think it was fair enough for Gaz Gammon to point out that the goals that JD has scored have been against Tiblisi, Tromso and Villa's 2nd XI. Remember that Bobby himself scored 2 in his one start against such opposition.

If you honestly stopped reading at "I honestly stopped reading at "the soldier", how on earth did you know what he then said (highlighted in bold above)?
